GE2318 - Complexity in Science and Technology

New sciences are not developed at random or from scratch, but instead rooted in ancient time. This course is to open up students’ mind to welcome ancient wisdom and to guide them to witness how this knowledge can light up the modern sciences, thereby helping them to improve their cognitive skills. Through the lectures, students will be able to understand the major concepts of ancient wisdom and understand the core ideas in some selected modern scientific fields. By participating in the designated small group activities, like group discussions and projects, students will be able to experience the close relationship among long-lasting ancient knowledge, the modern sciences, and their daily-life activities.
